Gen-Ryu
This
Gen-Ryu is a proposal for a "High-performance Hybrid Motorcycle."
Based on Yamaha's "Genesis" design ideal and the new
"G.E.N.I.C.H." ideal reflecting the latest electronic control
technologies, this model combines the lightweight, compact YZF-R6 600 cc engine
and a high output, high efficiency electric motor. It is designed to offer both
the joy of handling of a motorcycle and the comfort and carrying capacity of a
scooter. Features like the lightweight aluminum CF die-cast body with optimized
rigidity balance, large diameter wheels and long wheelbase give this model
running performance and handling similar to a 1,000 cc class machine.
Furthermore,
as Yamaha H.M.I. (Human Machine Interface) systems, this model adopts ASV
(Advanced Safety Vehicle) features aimed at preventative safety functions and
smart functions for increasing rider comfort. The ASV functions include ; a
vehicle-vehicle distance warning system using the latest communications
technologies, a cornering light system
that improves nighttime vision when turning at intersections and curves, The
smart functions include ; a noise canceling system that greatly reduces wind
noise, a short wave tandem intercom system, voice navigation function, music
player and hand-free cell phone function and rear view monitoring system using
a CCD camera and LCD display.
